I liked your query.
Please note the following in respect to your queries:
a.This is a myth which might have origination from earlier times when people used rivers or ponds as a source of common drinking water, bathing and for other house hold work. These sources were public places and bathing during periods would have caused embarrassment for women and uneasiness for others. This could be a possible reason for forbidding menstruating women/girl from take bath or head bath. In modern times where people have private bathroom, the belief of not bathing during periods in a total misconception and a myth generally propagated from the elder female members of the family. One should bathe everyday and itâs important to bathe during menstruation to maintain proper cleanliness and hygiene. There is no proven scientific or medical fact which support that head-bath should not be taken during menstruation.
B.Also note that there are always reasons for what had been told in olden days. We may feel its better to take a bath even twice a day during periods. But the fact behind the olden words is, our body produces heat during that time to eliminate the wastes from the uterus, so when we reduce the temperature of the body by taking head bath may lead to stagnation of some of the matters in the uterus itself. This may lead to infection at course of time and even hormonal imbalance. Its better to clean the private parts to stay hygiene.

Hi lybrate-user. The function of I pill is induced bleeding and clean the uterus. Bt your periods was just finished. That means your uterus is already clean. Again by medicine you aggravates the bleeding. Bt you do not worry it will be normal within few days. Do not do any physical excercise and do not take hot n spicy diet. Next time please take precaution or either do by checking your safe or unsafe time.

Your weight is already normal. Your bmi is 20.7 which is absolutely within normal limits. But you should not allow it to increase to increase the problem of pcod. For that you can jog or brisk walk for 4-5 km daily.

Yes. It is absolutely safe to make love in the first trimester in a normal pregnancy. However, your gynaecologist may advise your wfe to not have sex if she:------------------
1. Have a history or threat of miscarriage--------
2'have unexplained vaginal bleeding or spotting-----------
3. Have abdominal pain or ---------------
4. Have a history of cervical weakness----------------
5. Is pregnant with twins or multiple babies------------
6. Have a low-lying placenta (placenta praevia)----------------
your wife may also be advised to avoid sex during pregnancy if you are suffering from genital herpes. If your wife catch genital herpes for the first time during pregnancy there's a small risk that it could affect your developing baby.------------------
you may have to use a condom if you suffers from any sexually transmitted diseases.

If there is no pregnancy. I advise you to do meditation for mental strength by doing slow and deep breathing relaxation exercises in the morning. Take proper balanced vegetarian diet. Take 8 to 10 glasses of water daily. Avoid non veg and eggs. Follow this and give feedback.

4 months of time is not a time for get worried. Sometimes it takes more than one year to get conceive naturally. For some women, getting pregnant happens very quickly, but for others it can take longer. This can be upsetting, but it is normal.
Figure out your fertile days, avoid smoking and alcohol, have healthy diet and avoid stress.

Menopause is a natural change in a female body that occurs after or around the age of 45, when the ability to bear children stops permanently. The fertility diminishes and the menstrual cycle stops. A decrease in hormone production, especially in the levels of estrogen, happens after the onset of menopausal years.

During this time, there are a number of physical changes that take place inside the woman’s body. The noticeable changes happen in the female breasts.

Some visible changes to breasts during menopause

Non-cyclical breast pain is mostly not related to menstrual cycle and slowly stops with time.

Loss of glandular tissues is common and causes shrinkage in size.

With age, the connective tissues also lose elasticity and causes sagging

Breast pain could also be due to fibrocystic breast changes

There could be a chance of developing breast cancer

Density of the glands decreases inside the breasts and fat develops.

It is advisable to get any kind of discomfort examined by the doctor to make sure you are in the safe zone. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is not generally advised as it may create hormonal issues in the long run.

It is also important to follow a healthy diet comprising of protein, calcium , magnesium and other vital nutrients as advised by your doctor. Reduction in smoking and alcohol intake is highly beneficial and cuts down risk of major diseases. It is also necessary to exercise, remain physically active and maintain a healthy body weight during this time.

Regular check-ups, mammograms and self-examination of breasts help to diagnose and detect early signs of breast tumours and cancer and are highly recommended, especially for women who are in the perimenopausal and menopausal years.

Dear Lybrate user. I can understand. Masturbation is natural, normal and never unhealthy. Masturbation will not affect your reproductive capacity. Don't worry. To know whether you have reproductive capacity, you should check your sperm. No other means are available. Take care.

Eat fruits & vegetables rich in water content & nature is kind to give us melons, cucumbers, lauki,tori etc only during summers, avoid fried stuff ,drink more water ,ORS type , natural with lemon juice in water + a spoon of sugar with a pinch of salt in 1L water. If facing the sun directly, take an umbrella , apply sunscreen on exposed areas, wear linen and soft cottons but no synthetics as they absorb heat. yes no harm eating mangoes in any form , they are a rich source of beta caroteine -a precursor for Vitamin A , fructose sugar, some good proteins. do not count calories as these are healthy calories and not empty calories present in juices and cold drinks. eat small helpings but more frequently.

Hello,
Below are a few tips that you should follow to have a safe pregnancy:
1) Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Say no to coffee.
2) Have a healthy diet for a healthy body weight. Avoid fried foods.
3) Take adequate sleep
4) Refrain from sugary foods to keep your body's insulin levels in control.
5) Stay active
6) Take vitamin and calcium supplements on daily basis

Dear patient, masterbation may be male or female is not abnormal and it does not cause any kind of hormonal imbalance. Hormonal imbalance is due to many factors like stress, mental disturbances, your medications which you might be taking for schizophrenia as mentioned, genetic history, unknown causes, etc. Homeopathy with complete history taking helps to know your problem from within and cure it completely without any chance of recurrence, you can consult privately if you wish with all your recent reports.

We look around at our friends' marriage and often conclude that their marriage is better than ours. No wonder we turn to self-pity mode for not being to lucky to have a happier and exciting relationship. Who knew the love shall fade away! Where is the harmony and intimacy we always dreamt of ??

Why does romance not last? When we need someone to love and more importantly to be loved. All success, a seven digit salary, and big cars, nothing. nothing lets us feel content unless we have someone to share it with. Probably you have been married for years and have lost the romantic spark you had. And you look back and start analysing, where, what, when and how things went wrong?

And blame game starts; you curse circumstances and try to justify your actions

Ritikaa and Mehul fell in love at first sight. Despite family resistance they married. After a few months, they were arguing for small things and wondering why did they have married. Dr Radhakrishnan is a scientist married to a pathologist; he is looking from separation from his wife after 26 years, though he is not seeing anyone else.

Suchitra and Prakash married ten years ago, they divorced after two years of their marriage. They don't have kids. There were no obligations but they reunited four years back and divorced again, but still the relationship is not broken.

Do happy couples exist??? Heartbroken Alok who is just 32 yrs old, asked me with teary eyes - I earn 4 crores a year, but I feel lonely, unloved and dejected!

Every day I listen to stories of heartache! And my belief in the power of love and affection is growing many folds.

Marriage is more than being a room partner! Not only marriage but any relationship is like a plant, we need to nurture it to blossom. Every marriage faces its own challenges at different time and for different reasons. We need to consciously work on it but with ease.

No marriage is boring or perfect! It's about how do we respond to our marriage.

Every couple has to face common issues related with adjusting with new families, career balance, baby plans (in some cases), spending, eating, hygiene (bathroom etiquettes) habits of spouse, interest and hobbies, gender specific responsibilities and of course money matters.

Let it be anything . .Assertiveness is key to success.

Watch your own actions:

Are you imposing thoughts and actions on your spouse: you have imagined a world, and are trying to move things as per our own wish?

Are you expecting without explaining to her/ him: you might be soul-mates, but don't forget that no two people can be the same. Explain your expectations but don't put conditions to get it accomplished. Allow your spouse to take her or his call.

Are you respecting differences in opinion- disagreement is not disrespect for your views and opinions. It's about perspectives (based on pre conceived notions)

Are you reading your spouse's mind and assuming? Stop assuming, ask but be assertive, use appropriate words, tone and pitch.

Are you giving some room for mistakes? Give people some space to make mistakes, forgive them and self too. Communicate if something bothers you a lot.

Are you judging by actions not understanding intentions? Relax! Before you make opinions and decide you can't take it anymore. Sometimes your spouse is completely clueless and unaware about your mind.

Are you trying to bridge the gap between your spouse and your parents? Relationships are very one-to-one. Never try to bridge the gap between them, you shall end up being a sandwich and will spoil your relations too. Let them grow their own relationship.

Communicate clearly and explain your expectations about money matters - involve your spouse in your financial planning, it's a way to generate trust between you and spouse and it helps to work on budgets and spending habits.

Express clearly about sexual needs and desire. Physical intimacy plays a very important role in marriage. Seek professional help to sort things out before you think you are incompatible.

Make a choice not a sacrifice (otherwise you shall expect your spouse to repay it in the way you want).

Hi Lyberate user. Congratulations on the double good news! A normal delivery is possible if your 1st twin is in head down position. However if the 1st twin is in breech (head up and buttock down) position, its best to opt for caesrean delivery as it in this position, there can be several complication which can at times be fatal for the baby. hope this has been helpful.

Hi lybrate-user
As you mentioned about pcod. In this life style changes are required. Healthy eating isust. Physical exercise is also needed. If you love chocolates, you can take dark chocolates .One solution is that you consult a homeo. Doctor, he will prescribe medicine after takinh your history. It will also include food cravings and aversions.

Chance of pregnancy is only on day of ovulation which happens to be 14 days prior to next expected period meaning in woman with regular 28 days cycle around 14 th day after menstruation. So intercourse around that time.
